There are many cool things about working in the rainforest and being a social entrepreneur - improving your machete skills for instance. Another is the great organizations you're introduced to. Over the last few years we have met many, one of which will launch this Spring: Mission Markets. Mission Markets is an electronic trading platform for social and environmental capital markets - that's to say they link investors seeking both a financial return and positive impact from their investments with emerging social and environmental firms like Planting Empowerment. We see this partnership as a great opportunity for two reasons: 1. Opportunity to create more partnerships between impact investors and rainforest populations. 2. Current accredited investors may like the idea of their 25 year investment being a tad more liquid. As Mission Markets prepares for its Spring launch, we will explore this potential partnership and see if it's right for us. Regardless, please keep sharing your ideas and innovative organizations with us...and we promise to do the same!
